<h1>Break tab</h1>
<p>
The Break tab allows you to change a request or response when it has been caught by ZAP via
a <a href="../../start/concepts/breakpoints.html">break point</a>.<br/>
It allows you to change elements that you would not normally be able to change via your
browser, including:
<table>
<tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td>The header</td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td>Hidden fields</td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td>Disabled fields</td></tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
<td>Fields that use javascript to filter out illegal characters</td></tr>
</table>
This functionality is key to effectively pen testing your application.
<p>
The 2 panels will only contain anything if ZAP has caught a request or response.<br/>
You can change anything in these 2 panels and then forward the request or response using
the buttons on the <a href="../tltoolbar.html">Top Level Toolbar</a>.
</p>
<p>
Pull downs allow you to select different <a href="../views.html">Views</a> for the request or response header and body.
</p>
<p>
While the Break tab is not in use its icon is a grey cross: &nbsp;
<img src="../../images/16/101grey.png" align="bottom" width="16" height="16" />&nbsp;.<br/>
When a <a href="../../start/concepts/breakpoints.html">break point</a> is hit the tab icon is changed 
to a red cross: &nbsp;
<img src="../../images/16/101.png" align="bottom" width="16" height="16" />&nbsp;.<br/>

</p>

<h2>Right click menu</h2>
Right clicking on a node will bring up a menu which will allow you to:

<h3>العثور على...</h3>
This will bring up the <a href="../dialogs/find.html">Find dialog</a>.

<h3>Encode/Decode/Hash...</h3>
This will bring up the <a href="../dialogs/enc_dec.html">Encode/Decode/Hash dialog</a>.<br/>
If you have highlighted any text then this will be automatically included in the dialog.

<h3>نسخ</h3>
This will copy the selected string to the clipboard.
